ok...!

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stddef.h>
struct node{
       int a;
       char b[5];
       struct node *link;
       };
main()
{
      int a;
      a=sizeof(struct node);
      printf("%d",a);
      getchar();
      return 0;
      }

why is its output : 16?
Sudnt it be 4(int a) +5(char b[5] string) +9(link)= 18..?
